The Ibrox side dominated the first half and opened the scoring through Candeias when he smashed in a shot from 25 yards which slipped through Aaron McCarey’s hands.

But County fought back in the second half and looked the more dangerous side before they had the penalty claim turned down.

Cummings was introduced with 12 minutes left and made an instant impact when he latched onto a poor pass by Ross Draper and curled one into the bottom corner.

County were then awarded a spot kick in the dying minutes when Russell Martin handled to block Alex Schalk’s shot.

David Ngog stepped up and sent Wes Foderingham the wrong way but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation.

Cummings proves his worth

Cummings made his Rangers debut and showed what he can do with a fine finish to seal the win.

The loan signing was brought on with 12 minutes remaining and scored a fine curling effort, much to the delight of the travelling support.

It was his first Premiership goal and it was an important one as it came at a time when Rangers were struggling to get into the game.

Cummings comes with total confidence and there is no question that, having snared his first-ever top-flight goal, he can go onto to bag a load more before his loan ends.

Two wrongs don't make a right for Steven McLean

Steven McLean had two big penalty calls to make and got both of them wrong.

The first came when Draper headed Jason Naismith's cross back across goal and Bates appeared to handle the ball to stop the effort. McLean waved away claims for a penalty but did award one near the end of the game.

This time, a shot did strike Martin's hand but it was so close and powerful it was impossible for the on-loan Norwich defender to get his hand out of the way.

It was two blunders in a game where he didn't have much else to do and it's a disappointing performance from the referee.

County being cut adrift

It's now 11 games without a win for Owen Coyle's side and they are struggling at the bottom of the table.

It's a worrying run of form for the Dingwall club and they really need to get going soon before they leave themselves too far behind.

Ross County are in serious trouble. Coyle was brought to the club to save the club from relegation, but nothing is going their way. Bad decisions in three straight games have cost them and it’s worrying.
